Tea-tastic Tuesday
Tea Factoid……Herbal teas aren’t actually “tea”. They are an infusion of roots, flowers, leaves, fruits or seeds but as they don’t contain Camillia sinensis they don’t qualify as tea. and the third in my series of tea related sketches … Continue reading Tea-tastic Tuesday
Felix Scheinberger
I picked this book up on a visit to the Barber Institute last year. I’d just finished the Sketchbook Skool urban sketching course and the title and the scratchy illustration on the cover stood out. They say don’t judge a book by its cover but I’m really pleased I did with this book. Having now read the book I have to say that the title is … Continue reading Felix Scheinberger
Sunday Sketches
Thought I’d capture a few sketches to journal my day – not the most exciting of days but nice and relaxing. Continue reading Sunday Sketches

Not much to say about these really just eyes from different angles but the exercise will hopefully help when I try some portraits in the future. Its quite weird focusing only on one feature, but it helped me to really focus on the detail. Continue reading Drawing eyes part 1 of 2
Tea-Tastic Tuesday
Another tea sketch and factoid….. According to legend, tea was discovered by the Chinese emperor Shen Nung in 2737 BC I used my metallic watercolours on this but they’re a bit opaque and gloopy. Continue reading Tea-Tastic Tuesday
Sunday Lunch
So this weekend Simon was up in Newcastle for some meetings and as he had a couple booked in ended up staying for the weekend. Seemed a bit of a faff to make Sunday lunch for one so I thought I’d take the opportunity to make a stir fry as Simon’s not a big fan. Not the best sketch but the dish was very tasty Continue reading Sunday Lunch
